Episode #29 – Porpoising, Flying in Canada, & OpenAirplane

Welcome home for another episode of the Stuck Mic AvCast! Rick shares a story about a flight where he experienced some porpoising which led to a group discussion on tips and techniques to help reduce porpoising and ideas for recovery. We also speak about flying into Canada from the United States which stemmed from a flight Carl did where a crew member got detained in customs. This led Carl into some research about Canadian flying where he discovered some helpful information to minimize your time with Customs in addition to some real world experience shared by Len from a flight he did to London, Ontario in a Piper Seminole. And then we wrap up the show with the co-hosts Picks of the Week and share our thoughts about the ever-so-cool OpenAirplane.

The Albert Whitted Airport Preservation Society is hosting a cookout and lunch for fundraising to help keep the airport open both at 11:30AM on August 4th, 2012 and again on September 1, 2012. Located in St. Petersburg, FL, the Albert Whitted Airport holds a historical value in the American aviation books when on January 1, 1914, the FIRST regularly schedule airline flight departed. These cookouts help the airport raise funds to remain open to the public.

Episode #26 – Our First Anniversary, How We Got Started Flying, & A Year in Podcasting

Today’s show is an unusual one, more off the cuff, no topics, other than sharing a celebration of our first anniversary here at the Stuck Mic AvCast, stories of how each co-host got started in aviation, and reminiscing on our first year of podcasting, the experiences it’s afforded us and even how it’s changed our lives.
